spotting on Nuvaring
Sun, 05-16-2004 - 6:36pm
I've been on Nuvaring since November. It's worked pretty well so far. Once or twice before now I've had a problem with spotting, but not like this--I've been spotting for about the last week. It's very light--only stains the pantiliner a little and it's brown (sorry if graphic). It started shortly after my boyfriend and I were intimate (or trying to be--I've had a problem with being tight.)

In addition, I've been under a lot of stress lately--I'm switching jobs and am on some medications I wasn't on before (I asked my doctor if they would interfere, and he said they wouldn't.)

Should I be concerned? I'll be removing the ring tonight (it's time, so we'll see if I get a normal period or not.)

Opinions, anyone?
